What is Re:Zero about?
Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World anime is based on the KADOKAWA-published light novels written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Ootsuka. Studio White Fox animated the first two seasons of the anime, which premiered in 2016 and 2020, respectively, with Season 2 having a split-cour format (the second cour premiered in July 2021). Tsunaki Yoshikawa, the animation producer of the first two seasons, founded Atelier Pontdarc in July 2020.
Yen Press, which licensed the Re:Zero light novels in English, shared a plot description for the first volume of the series:
Subaru Natsuki was just trying to get to the convenience store but wound up summoned to another world. He encounters the usual things–life-threatening situations, silver haired beauties, cat fairies–you know, normal stuff. All that would be bad enough, but he’s also gained the most inconvenient magical ability of all–time travel, but he’s got to die to use it. How do you repay someone who saved your life when all you can do is die?
The Stars That Engrave History Arc begins on Volume 16, which has the following story description:
A CITY OF HIDDEN DEPTHS! In the year since the Battle of the Sanctuary, Subaru Natsuki has been busy honing his skills alongside Emilia and the other members of their merry band. Still, these peaceful days cannot carry on forever-and it is none other than Anastasia, Emilia’s rival in the royal selection, who brings their respite to an end with an unexpected hand-delivered letter bearing an invitation to the famous Water Gate City of Pristella. Despite their suspicions about the sudden request, they accept and set off for the trade hub that lies at the kingdom’s border. There, among the inviting canals and dazzling streets, await old friends, new faces, and a hidden menace lurking in the shadows!
Re:Zero also spawned a manga adaptation, side stories, and videogames. For more details about the next season, check out everything we know about Re:Zero Season 3 in our detailed article.
